Averaging at 198 BPM, this is probably the fastest running playlist I’ve ever put together so be careful you don’t get a heart attack when running to it.

As you might imagine, this playlist has mostly rock and heavy metal music in it, since those genres can usually go up to those high BPMs without sounding too crazy.

If you plan to run a 10k with this running playlist, you’ll go really fast, so make sure you warm up well. This playlist is also very short, at 31 minutes, so you may want to add some slower songs up front to help you ease into it and not start off with a 181 BPM song.

And now, here’s the list, I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter.
I’d also appreciate it if you “like” this post on Facebook or “+1″ it if you are on Google+.

I haven’t done a genre themed playlist for a while and I was having a few bad days at work, so I thought I could use some angry and powerful music to get me going.

To me, running is usually a very relaxing and calm activity, but sometimes, you just need that push that you can’t get anywhere else than metal. I can honestly say that having angry men with long hair screaming at you through your earbuds definitely makes you go faster….

This playlist is 43 minutes long and has an average BPM of 152, so it will get you going fast. I also included some more “classic” rock to keep things from getting too out of hand and watch out for “The Formation of Damnation”, I clocked it at over 200 BPM!!!

What’s the sweet surprise I talked about? Well, I’m not affiliated or trying to promote any music store on this site, but if you get these songs on Amazon, they are all free!

And now, here’s the list, I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me on facebook or twitter.
